Questions re Family Name assist
Hi I am part of the FamilySearch Pacific Support team have been for almost ten years.
We recieved an email from a Priesthood holder who has responsibility in their stake for temple and family history work.
His question are as follows.
"1. Which leaders can access the feature? Is it just bishoprics and clerks or RS and EQ presidency members too? There were references to different leaders at ROOTSTECH - so I'm guessing there's inbuilt flexibility as to who helps the new member.
2. What happens if a card is created instead of using ordinance ready and the work has already been done for that person? Are there any concerns about duplication? (our thinking is that one would need to check for duplication before going to the Temple)
3. Does the process involve setting up a Family Search account or is one generated automatically? ( we note the tool prompts the guest in
to create an account it does not do it automaticllay)
4. Is there any way to show leaders how the system works using a dummy record for training purposes?" ( we dont think there is unless the guest is able to use Beta)
Just needed some clarification re this tool. We have added possible answers to his questions in brackets.
I did read in a previous post that we do not support this tool, my thinking; it is to do with FamilySearch and ordinances so dont we need to know how to respond to questions?
Would appreciate comments regarding this please.
Thank you

I'm concerned.
To test the program, we submitted a name with no resources,
Received permission to print name card.
Of course we cancelled the card and cleared transmission.

It will be (as it always has been but little recognized) that everyone continue to promote the idea that just because something comes up in Ordinances Ready (or the new Family Name Assist app for leaders to use) does not mean that those names have been researched and cleared for actual ordinances. It can still be a person with the same name and a similar birth date and place as the actual ancestor.
People need to do their own "due diligence" on names. Many names even show up with zero sources at all, yet people blindly print those out and submit them for ordinances. The operative words are "personal responsibility." We need to care enough about our waiting ancestors to make sure we actually get it right for them. Their emotional investment as they await their ordinances is beyond most people's comprehension.
